First pregnancy and so emotional

Hi all,

I've been debating whether to join a forum where I can try and chat to other mums and plucked up the courage to finally do it

This is my first pregnancy and have been surrounded by pregnant women at work who seem to be blossoming. I don't have any friends so don't really have anyone to talk to about how I feel and what's going on.

I am so emotional and gave had to make a few difficult decisions which I'm struggling with. I'm tired all the time with alot of stomach problems. I want to embrace my pregnancy body but at the same time I'm trying to cover up because have always been on the bigger side and conscious about it.

I just wondered if anyone else struggled with thier first pregnancy.

I think lots of people struggle with pregnancy in different ways, so you're not alone. I have had terrible anxiety, and also got really down when I was suffering with such bad sickness. Second trimester and emotionally I do feel better but generally still just feel like crap 😅

I really appreciate this, I had bad sickness for my first three months and then for the last six weeks I have been pretty good getting back to eating normally but now starting to feel bloated as sick again.
It's been a struggle walking my dog morning and night when I have finished an 8 hour day at work when all I want to do is sleep 😂
